>Description:
        gated is a routing demaon and belongs to the network startup, but
        gated is started after the DAEMON checkpoint. Other daemons started in 
front
        of DAEMON already need some routeing information and may fail to start.
        If the system has been setup without a default route, because that one 
should be
        obtained from other servers by gated, than ypbind will hang due to 
missing routing
        information, if the ypserver is not on the local network (and not the 
machine itself).
        (see also misc/36171 - fix for the same problem for routed)
>How-To-Repeat:
        setup a system without default route, enable ypbind and gated, setup 
the ypserver
        not on the same subnet and try to boot the system. It will hang while 
starting ypbind.
>Fix:
        Change startup dependencies in file /usr/pkgsrc/net/gated/files/gated 
like the setting 
        in the setup for routed (see misc/36171).
